For me, the death penalty contains traces of mercy and life-long incarceration does not. You take away someone’s freedom for the rest of their life instead of putting them out of their misery.
So I think life in prison with no possibility of parole plus removal of all assets is ideal.
But I think this should only apply to the CEO and the board not everyone up and down the chain at least in the US where we have a “right to work”.
I don’t know if the law will allow an effective removal of all assets. I’m thinking of trust fund babies and such…
Edit: at least in the US, I think there is a possibility of a pardon or commutation by POTUS. I think we need to abolish that as well or at least it should be that if you pardon or commute the sentence for one person for a crime, it automatically makes the same change (pardon/commutation) for everyone convicted of that crime.
Civil asset forfeiture. The money itself is complicit in the criminal act.
I don’t need to see them tortured beforehand, as it serves little to no purpose (in my opinion).
"Plush mansion, good company, etc" vs "left to rot in a hole" type of thing.
There is no such thing as life long incarceration. They always get out early
